The MapEDIT program for automated graphical data vectorization is intended for digital vector map creation by their raster images on the display of a computer.

MapEDIT accomplishes the following main tasks:

- to fulfill automated/manual vectorization by monochrome and color raster images with separating the map objects into layers; - to save object attributive data to a database when fulfilling vectorization; - to reference a map to a coordinate system, to correct distortion of a paper originals; - to photogrammetrically process raster images of aerial and satellite photographs; - to control correctness of topological relationship between input objects; - to export gotten vector maps and databases into the formats GIS and CAD.

Furthermore, MapEDIT allows:

- to process input raster images; - to put together parts of a vector map; - to import maps for their editing.
